UN New York “Space for Humanity” Issue (2007)
The New York office stamps were denominated in US Dollars and were part of a larger, coordinated release with the UN offices in Geneva (Swiss Francs) and Vienna (Euros).
- Commemorative Stamps (Set of 2):
- $0.41 value: Depicting the U.S. Space Shuttle.
- $0.90 value (or $0.84 in some preliminary reports): Depicting Astronauts spacewalking.
- Souvenir Sheets (often collected as part of the set):
- The overall release included a souvenir sheet for each UN office. The New York souvenir sheet was reportedly denominated as $1.00 and sometimes pictured an extended version of the International Space Station stamp issued by Vienna.
- A special “personalized” sheet with the “Space for Humanity” theme was also made available exclusively at the UN Headquarters in New York, featuring designs that mixed classic UN/New York images with space scenes and the World Space Week logo.
These stamps are listed in stamp catalogs under the United Nations New York section, and are a significant part of the 2007 UN stamp program.
